Not a two-player variant, more of a puzzle built on chess movement, but I think it fits here.

Numbered squares are targets. You place rooks, bishops and knights so each number is attacked by exactly that many of your pieces. A 0 must stay untouched. One twist from normal chess: rooks and bishops attack through other pieces, all the way to the edge, which makes a single piece cover a lot more than you'd expect.

Every board has one solution you can reach by pure logic. There's a daily set of 20 boards from 3x3 to 6x6, the same for everyone, and on Sundays it goes up to 7x7 with knights mixed in.

Curious what chess players think: does "attacks pass through pieces" feel wrong to you, or does it work for a puzzle? 1.1 just came out with friend battles (free to join) and hints that explain the next deduction. Honest feedback is welcome, and if you like it an App Store review helps a lot.

Hey everyone, solo dev here.

I built Sync because my plans kept quietly falling apart and I never noticed until the week was gone. Every planner I tried only showed what I intended to do. None of them showed what I actually did next to it.

So Sync puts your day in two columns. Plan on the left, actual on the right, same time axis. Time that went as planned and time that drifted show up in color. After a week you can see exactly where your day keeps slipping.

Just shipped 1.1: save a plan as a repeat or habit right from the plan sheet, edit repeats for one day or all future days, plans that can run past midnight, and per-calendar default activities when you import events.

What it does

• Two tracks: drag over the hours, pick an activity, done
• One tap to confirm: when a plan ends, Sync asks "Did you do it?" right on the Lock Screen and widgets (Record as planned / Adjust / Skip)
• Timer: the actual track grows in real time, stop it from the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island
• Repeats and templates: sleep, commute, workouts set once, save a good day and reuse it
• Time goals: weekly, monthly, yearly hours per activity, filled automatically from your actuals
• Apple Health, Calendar, Reminders: workouts and sleep from your Watch flow into the actual track (read only). Calendar events sit under your plan. To-dos sync with a Reminders list
• Close the day: match rate, time per activity, one line note

No account, no server, no subscription, no ads. Everything stays on your device.

Why I'm giving it away

Sync just launched and I need honest reviews and real usage more than $4.99 right now. It's a paid app, one time, no subscription, so Apple only gives me a limited batch of redeem links per version. I have 100 to hand out.

How to claim (100 spots, first come first served)

1. Upvote this post so more people see it
2. Comment: what's the one thing that always slips off your plan? Helps me decide what to build next
3. Message me and I'll reply with a one time redeem link

If it clicks for you, an App Store review would mean a lot to a solo dev. Happy to answer anything about how the two tracks work.
